It depends on what you value. - If you value features, then Telegram is surely ahead of Whatsapp in almost every aspect. - If you value the encryption, I would trust Whatsapp more than Telegram. Telegram did some strange stuff with their cu

Range types are probably the main thing I miss from the Rust type system. But even without range constraints, wrapper types (called newtypes in Haskell and Rust) are great. Let's say you have a function that accepts a temperature. A te

The entire language is (and is meant to be) ambiguous. Compared to other examples, I find the use of "luka" as meaning five quite clear.

Interesting, Domains like connect.facebook.net or rc.rlcdn.com don't show up in the Chromium network connection list, even in an anonymous session (so that all extensions are disabled). Found this: https://blog.disqus.com&#x

I was quite amazed at the number of trackers listed. But on my own blog, where Disqus is used, I never see most of them. The only domains loaded are from disqus or Google Analytics. Any idea what causes the difference?

On Pimoroni, shipping to Switzerland is also around £4. In contrast, the official distributor for Germany/Switzerland (pi3g) wants 19€ (!!!) for shipping an envelope with a single Pi Zero in it. And it prohibits reselling. In my opinio

Since Threema Web is pretty new, the data protocol is still in flux and may change often. (You can find the details in the source code though.) The SaltyRTC signaling protocol on the other hand is fully specified: https://saltyrt

Threema offers that. You do a QR code scan, after which a contact is marked as verified (3 green dots). Since Threema has a fixed key per user, these verifications are persistent and most people transfer their keys when switching to a new p
